You could catch her within the palms of your hands; If you’re fast enough, maybe.. But why would you? She’s a hummingbird. You could trap her within a garden of the most colourful flowers ever; And watch her levitate busily from one to the next, always within sight.. But why would you? She’s a hummingbird!… Read More
Gambling
I am tired. Of wanting things Having things Then not having them. Missing people Only to meet them And realise They’re not the same Anymore. Going places Only to reach there And realise you must Head back Just as soon. I am tired of changing And not being able to change Things that matter And… Read More
Once..
Everything just fell apart and everything just fell away.. As bit by bit, I toiled away; building my dream. Heeding the call of a higher purpose; At first, it stuck.. to me Then I stuck to it. In the end, it is all that remained. And shall always.. Long after I’m gone and the flesh… Read More
Wild And Free
Unbroken
It hurts right now But it won’t hurt forever. To carry your broken heart within a broken body that can take no more; It can still be done. It still can, even though you’re hurting beyond measure. Tough times must come upon them; Those life seeks to toughen, beyond the ordinary. Aye! building upwards atop… Read More
What if this is all there is?
What if this, is all there is? What if this.. is as good as it gets? What if this is as far, you were meant to be; And everything that you ever dreamed about for the future, were memories; Being carried on from a past life. A past where, you had it all. A life… Read More

It happens effortlessly, Once you begin To savour The long walk… Leading you there. Photo & Poem: © Jay Kaushal

Firefly
She ain’t just a girl, She’ the girl. She’s a flame. Enigma. She’s like fire, Floating on Tender ornate wings Of a butterfly; Fluttering past you In the summer. She’s broken a many hearts And had her heart broken too, One too many times. You want her, Like they all do.. But you can’t have… Read More
Majestic
A swan, Paddles away Furiously Beneath the surface. Just to stay Afloat. Nothing else. Yet you, Can only Percieve White floating grace; Ripples nor Sound. Flawless, Utopian elegance. And you, Can’t imagine Madness Behind the scenes; Hard at work. Persevering, Constant struggle. The facade Of perfection; Unstable. Control, no control; Infinite cycles, intersecting.. Culminating.. Every… Read More

Your time will come
Don’t be afraid, For the storm will pass; And the morning breeze Will come knocking, again On the window. Dont be afraid; For the clouds, will part For the sun; And the thunder would be long gone, Like the rain. Dont be afraid Of the wolves at the door. If you can make it Till… Read More

The problem is You can’t see, That the one Walking away, is; So you have One less distraction To deal with. One less detractor To criticise, your Beliefs and ideas. One… Read More
Warrior Within
In the depths Of your deepest Darkest Most gruesome And Paralysing fears; Your True power Lies Waiting. Enslaved And chained; Hopeless, desolate And Weakened; By your lack of courage. © Jay Kaushal
Summer sunshine
Oh look the summer’s here. The sun is shining, In the freshness of A Sky blue hue. Soft green grass Laid out for you Like a carpet Of welcome To rest Your weary soul. Bees humming Sparrows chirping The cuckoo singing In delight. The winter was dreary With the trees All stripped naked But look… Read More
I want to be remembered
I’m twenty seven and fading away; Fast, into oblivion. With each day, my years lose the promise they held all those years ago. Each day takes away from me the chance of an early fame. Each new day brings meaning to my life; And robs the meaning from all years past. I am at crossroads… Read More
